Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different classification systems for predicting the behavior of uterine Perivascular Epithelioid Cell tumors (PEComas), including Folpe, modified Folpe, Bennet, and Schoolmester.
- Researchers reviewed pathology records and conducted a systematic literature review, collecting data from 101 identified cases of uterine PEComas treated at their center and elsewhere, while excluding cases linked to tuberous sclerosis complex.
- The modified Folpe classification was found to be the most reliable for predicting tumor behavior, suggesting that adjustments to size and mitotic figure thresholds could enhance predictions related to patient mortality.
